i created this little piece of mixed media several years ago...paint and paper on raw canvas...i called it "awakening joy".....it's kinda cool that i would do that, sort of foreshadowing....right now i am taking a mindfulness course called "Awakening Joy".....based on Buddhist philosophy.....

it is about REMEMBERING to really notice when we feel a sense of well being or joy....and to fully inhabit our lives in this moment....there are some sweet practices on how to be connected to this very moment...i know it is a journey of a lifetime and i believe i am totally on the path for the long haul.....slowly slowing down....
